Introduction
This guide will show you how to replace one or both fans on the Aero 14 or 15w/x. I used a 15w for this guide, which is mostly the same except for the display, GPU, and power adapter (none of which are relevant to this guide).
What you need
Video Overview
-
-
Use a plastic pick, or a very small flathead on the bottom long section, and gradually pull up the panel as you go up the sides
-
-
-
-
There are no screws, although there may be some adhesive strips holding it down
-
-
-
Remove the Philips #00 screws from whichever fan you are replacing and peel it away from the adhesive (you can try attaching the new fan to the adhesive but it's not required)
-
It is recommended that you reapply the thermal paste

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Hey !
thanks for the tuto..
I have the new design of this laptop (gigabyte AERO 15 OLED YA, the one with the doubble hinges)… and i was wondering if the fans are the same as the ones in the tuto or not…
one of mine is broken ( I suspect a broken bearing) and i want to replace them.
have a nice day !
Hey ! I just bought the Philips screwdrivers and the fan assembly is not the same as yours. I have 2 more heat pipes, the batterie is more on the right and the secondary ssd is on the left side of the batterie.
I’ll first clean my fans ( totally full of dirt/dust) while installed. I have to work on the machine. I’ll respond to this post with the model numbers for the newer gen versions.
Have a nice day !
Can this fan repair still be applied to Aero Gigabyte 17 inch laptop? I hear clicking or grinding with my fans. I used Air Duster spray to help remove excess dust. I’m also using a laptop cooler to help cool my laptop just in case.
I appreciate your detailed guide for helping me to clean my laptop!
